Chapter 175 Cao Hao Gets Poisoned After Eating Snails

In the kitchen.

Instigated by Cao Tian and harboring ill intentions towards Wang Yuqing, Cao Hao arrived at the brigade headquarters' food production team at dawn, secretly slipped through a hole, and sneaked into the kitchen.

Because of this time, he assumed that everyone had already gone out to sell snails, and the remaining people must have gone to collect snails.

He wanted to cause trouble, like dumping all the seasonings, mixing sand into the snails, and even defecating and urinating in the kitchen... all for revenge and to vent his anger.

Cao Tian told him, "It was Wang Yuqing who deliberately lured everyone to the sorghum field, causing your mother to be discovered."

Cao Hao hated Wang Yuqing to death. He had hated her before because she used to crawl on the ground and be his horse, but now she had become so powerful. He was quite indignant about it.

He slipped into the kitchen and saw two large pots of simmering snails; there was no one in the kitchen.

The aroma filled his nostrils, and he kept swallowing, his stomach growling. These past few days, the Cao family hadn't been feeding him properly, and he was starving.

He was already craving something, his mouth was watering, so he reached into the pot, grabbed a snail, and put it in his mouth to suck on. The more he sucked, the more delicious it tasted.

Finally, he licked his fingers, grabbed a handful from the pot, and jumped up from the heat.

He thought to himself, since we've already sneaked in, we might as well eat it all. If we can't finish it, we'll throw in some stones and sand and see how they sell it!

He found a large basin, filled it to the brim, and when there was no more room, he grabbed some sand and threw it in, along with all sorts of seasonings, and then spat into it.

Despite his young age, he was vicious, saying, "I'll let you sell snails, let's see who eats them! Bah, bah, bah!"

Finally, he took off his pants, peed on the ground, and chuckled as he looked at his own urine: "It'll suffocate you!"

After finishing, he carried a large basin of snails out of the kitchen. He originally wanted to crawl out, but he couldn't get in, so he simply hid in the woodpile to steal some.

He smacked his lips as he ate, saying, "Tsk tsk, so delicious."

He even felt lucky today, that he could have a good meal, and he wasn't afraid of being discovered. If they found out, so be it. He was still a child, what could they do to him?

office.

Wang Yuqing held a meeting for about ten minutes, and everyone agreed to use the money to buy a tricycle and a gas stove, so that they could cook and sell their products at the market.

Because a large space was needed, the old Party Secretary had to make a request to the commune to get a space.

Everyone was overjoyed and full of fighting spirit, after all, they would make more money in the future, and they estimated that they could build a house by the end of the year.

During this time, Miao Ying never revealed that she had witnessed Cao Huan poisoning the snails. She felt that making money was a good thing, but it wasn't a good thing for her that most of the money ended up in Wang Yuqing's pocket.

Cao Huan felt guilty and nervous, and kept reassuring herself that the rat poison wouldn't kill anyone, that she hadn't used much, and that she had even stirred it in.

Wang Yuqing was about to go find the old Party Secretary when she heard a scream coming from the kitchen.

She rushed over upon hearing the noise and found everyone in the kitchen, which was a mess and reeked of urine.

Lei Yongxia angrily cursed: "Which damned bastard came in and made a mess of everything? He spilled the soy sauce, vinegar, and salt, and even peed on the ground..."

Chen E pointed to several basins next to her: "These were full of sand. I just cleaned them. Who was that heartless bastard?"

Tang Wan immediately opened the pot lid, and found that more than half of the snails in the pot were gone. She said, "A lot of snails were stolen, and the rest don't look edible. They've also been mixed with sand."

Chen Xiang said, "Who's so wicked? They must have sneaked into the kitchen while we were in a meeting and no one was there to do something bad."

Zhao Sufeng, Hua Yan, and Li Xiuer were also very angry.

Cao Huan's heart leaped into her throat. Her eyes were fixed on the snails in the pot, and she stammered, "What if that person steals all the snails and eats them?"

If they really stole and ate them all, it would definitely lead to someone's death.

Her legs were trembling; she never expected such a mistake to happen halfway through.

Li Xiuer said, "Probably. So what if we're eating? This damn guy is even peeing in the kitchen. I'll make sure he dies from eating this!"

The following four words, "I'll eat you to death," made Cao Huan's palms sweat and her scalp tingle. Her face turned pale, and she said, "I... I'll go out and look for them. Maybe they haven't gone far."

Miao Ying looked at Cao Huan coldly, increasingly convinced that what he had thrown was definitely poison!

Wang Yuqing looked around the kitchen, wondering who had come in to cause trouble. The gate to the yard was locked from the inside; you couldn't get in without knocking.

Just now, all the members of the non-staple food team were having a meeting in their offices.

Tang Wan suddenly spoke up: "Did some little brat crawl in through the hole over the woodpile? That hole is quite big. We thought it would be fine to block it with the woodpile, so we didn't call anyone to block it."

She added, "Judging from this, it doesn't seem like something an adult would do; it must be a child."

Chen E said angrily, "Whose wild child is this? He's really wicked. Now that I've caught him, I'm going to his house to demand an explanation."

Lei Yongxia said, "Maybe it was the adults in the family who instigated it."

Suddenly, another sharp scream came from outside.

The voice came from Cao Huan.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly ran towards the source of the sound, only to see Cao Huan sitting on the ground, screaming in terror.

Lei Yongxia said, "Is this some kind of ghost? Shouting like that in broad daylight? It's enough to scare someone to death!"

Cao Huan's hand trembled as he pointed to the inside of the woodpile, his words slurred: "There...there's someone...going to die, someone's going to die..."

Chen E and Chen Xiang recognized each other but didn't dare to go forward to check. Zhao Sufeng, Hua Yan, and Li Xiuer behind them also didn't dare to go forward.

Miao Ying stood at the farthest point, watching indifferently.

Lei Yongxia, being the bravest, was the first to step forward to check, and almost cried out, "My God, what happened?"

Wang Yuqing and Tang Wan arrived later. When they went up to take a look, they were surprised to find Cao Hao lying in the woodpile, convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and unconscious.

Lei Yongxia exclaimed in a panic, "My God, isn't this Cao Hao from the Cao family? He looks like he's been poisoned."

In front of Cao Hao was a large basin, with very few snails left, surrounded by empty snail shells.

Everyone knows he stole the snails, but no one knows why.

Tang Wan said, "It looks like they ate rat poison, but how could there be rat poison in our snails?"

Cao Huan scrambled to her feet, hid behind the people, and lowered her head, terrified.

As a result, it accidentally hit Miao Ying. Miao Ying looked at her and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Cao Huan felt guilty, but quickly put on a brave face: "Who isn't afraid? If you're not afraid, why don't you come up and take a look?"

Wang Yuqing calmly ordered, "Hurry up and get them onto the cart. Tang Wan, go and call Ji Xuening and Wang Shuo. Aunt Lei, go and inform the old Party Secretary and the Director. Sister Zhao, go to the field and find Lei Jun, who drives the tractor, and tell him to drive the tractor back quickly. Aunt Chen, could you please go to the Cao family's house?"

"The rest of you, wait here. We're not going to sell snails today. Also, don't touch anything in the kitchen or outside."

"Chen Xiang, you're in charge of supervising. No one is allowed to touch anyone, and no one can go home."

As she spoke, she and Tang Wan lifted Cao Hao onto the cart.

To save time, Wang Yuqing pushed Cao Hao directly to find Lei Jun. On the way, they ran into Ji Xuening and Wang Shuo. Cao Hao had already started to have nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and purpura on his skin, and his condition looked very serious.

Finally, Lei Jun drove the person to the company clinic in a tractor.

No sooner had he left than the news spread throughout the entire brigade, and everyone began to discuss and speculate: how could eating snails have caused poisoning?

Cao Huan felt extremely guilty.

Although Hua Gui and He Ruhua were shocked, they were also relieved. The matter had to be blown out of proportion, the bigger the better. As for Cao Hao stealing the snails, he deserved it!

Zhao Si and Qian Juan also joined the crowd, chatting amongst themselves, pretending to know nothing about the matter since they were the instigators.

When the Cao family learned of this, they all rushed to the health center, not because they were worried about Cao Hao's condition, but because they wanted to use this incident to demand compensation from Wang Yuqing's non-staple food team as soon as possible.
